Glad to hear he's doing better today. Hope it was just some dust or the like & he has no future problems.

I looked it up on the internet, not finding much except to wash it out. if it is a bug, would that just wash it down deeper? Any ideas?

Actually, unless the bug is attached (like a tick actually sucking from him) or actually lodged in his ear drum flushing the ear out will help flush the bug out. But flushing the ear is different from just cleaning them, you literally want to flush the ears out, which usually requires a lot of ear cleaner & a bathtub. lol But even if the bug was lodged or stuck, flushing normally won't make it any worse.
For future refferences though I also usually let me dogs go a day or so itching or shaking their ears (doesn't happen often though) before I do anything about it. Unless of course they are really irritating the ear then I start treatment right away to help prevent an ear hematoma.
